Instructions

Preparing the Potatoes for Roasting

Place the cut potatoes in a bowl of clean water to wash out the excess starch

In a large pot, put the potatoes in the pot and cover it with COLD water, enough to cover the potatoes (It takes about 7 cups of water for me)

Add in the white vinegar and salt and set the stove to medium high heat.

Boil it for 20-30 minutes, do not use a lid.

Making the Honey Miso Garlic Sauce

In a small bowl, add in the miso and hot water and mix until the miso has melted.

Add in the honey and mix well until the sauce is smooth.

Add in the garlic powder and mix.

Set aside for later

Roasting the Potatoes

Once the potatoes have finished boiling, drain the water and let it sit for about 5 minutes to cool and dry out.

Melt the butter (I like to use the microwave and nuke it for 20 seconds, 10 seconds at a time so it doesn’t splatter. If you don’t have a microwave, use a small pot or pan)

Mix in the oil with the butter and set it aside.

Once 5 minutes is up and the potatoes are dried and somewhat tacky, place the potatoes in a roasting pan and mix the butter/oil mixture into the potatoes until they are all well coated.

Place it in the oven and broil it for 15-20 minutes. Flipping them every 5 minutes. (It is crucial that you watch the oven on this step, since things burn really quickly under broil.)

Once the potatoes are brown and crispy (If the potatoes are not crispy yet, broil for another 5 minutes), mix in the Honey Miso Garlic sauce and mix well until all the potatoes are well coated.

Put it back in the oven, and broil it for 2-3 minutes

Enjoy as a snack or a side dish! 🙂

Notes

You can use any type of potato for this ingredient but keep in mind that the starchier the potato is – the crispier it will be, which is why I usually like using russets for this recipe. You can also peel the potatoes for more starchy surface area for an even more crispy potato.

You can use any type of miso for this recipe, but keep in mind that the darker the miso (white, yellow, red) the more flavorful and potent it will be.
